Actually scratch one of the things I said -- the post-'94 960s used a front (and rear) suspension system that was quite different from the earlier cars, more along the lines of the new FWD stuff that had just come out on the 850 series around then. Doubt the HD diesel front springs would swap onto the '96 car's struts, though you could give it a shot. Another reason I want to stick with an earlier 960 body, to avoid this conflict. I don't know if the stock 960 springs would be stiff enough to support the weight of an iron block straight six D24T. The B6304 engine in there now is all-aluminum so probably lighter by comparison.
